the present time there are twice that number Of
people there, and yet the accommodations are
very little larger than they were then. The re-
suit Is that these people are packed into buildings
In manner that Is not only unhealthy but makes
cleanliness next to an impossbllity. The sur
roundings Of these houses are also bad. The sink
drainage Is very p0Orand the 0uthuuses flthy.

you to repubiish II and call the attention par

lively free from both diseases; but very
recently ''Sebago water" has been
largely introduced to our village and no
extra provision made for drainage. Unless
our town wakes up at once to the coming
danger we shall be victims to similar
scourges to those that 'Brun swick ard other
Maine towns which have water systems"
are now suffering from.
Appeal to our town authorities that they
at once start system of drainage to follow
Sebag0 pipes whenever laid If they have not
sufficient authority to do sO-let them call a
special town meeting and let the town give
them the power to protect the health and
lives of its Inhabitants; urge them to do 1t

A BRAVE ACT.

post office when suddenly runaway team

Miss Ssnborn saw them she leaped TO mid
die OF the street at single bound, and, TO
quote from the dispatch, "stlrsd the mad.
dened team BY the bits" Planting her
feet firmly on the ground, with her toes
turned slightly out, she, In the words or
the dispatch, ''threw the team high in the
air." As they again came down she SELF.
Cd them BY the brides, one In each hand,
and swinging the heavy and half crszed
beasts around ct each eide OF her. like the
arms OF windmill, she brought them down
on the ground at each revelation (oro
striking on its eide while the other vas
above her head In the sir) with . hollow
thud like the sound Of two plle-drivers at
work together and striking alternately.
Some ave or ten minutes OF this kind OF
